Here are some good examples of commercials of a community service nature. They were screened on channel 9 during C TV (or childrens' tv time 4pm to 6pm) every week day.

Notice there are several elements that are typical to a commercial that are often not present in films.

• The images match what is being said.
• There is a jingle.
• The visuals suit the target audience.
